Okay, reporting. Okay, there we go. Well, God bless you guys, and I want to welcome
each and every one of you back for day three of the unveiling of the wow, wow, the woman
of worth. Here we go. Day three. We have a special guest here. Her name is Yvonne Munch,
and she has much to share with you today. But first, before we get to that, let's take
a look at what we went through yesterday. Just a drive-by, a quick drive-by of what
we learned. If things look a little bit different here, believe it or not, 30 minutes ago, all
the power in the town of Allingshaw has gone out. So, you know what that tells me? That
there must be a lot that's going to happen here today. And I think that has everything
to do with Yvonne and what she's going to share, because it didn't go out yesterday.
There's no power outage here. Okay, here we go. So, what did we see yesterday? First off,
I hope that, you know, I've heard it said that it is good to start something. We started
this challenge on Monday, and it's a five-day challenge, and we're halfway through. So,
how many of you started with us on Monday? Are you planning to finish with us on Friday?
Because you know what? This is what I heard they say, that it's easy to start something,
but it is hard to finish it. Can you imagine Jesus Christ being beaten, tortured for over
40 hours, being, you know, finally on his way to Golgotha, and then all of a sudden he goes,
hey, hold on here, stop, stop. I didn't, hey, this is too much for me. I don't think I'm going to do
this anymore. So, hey, forgive me. This is it. Plus, ain't nobody listening. Nobody's going to
do what I have to say. No. Where would you and I be if he did that? Well, for one, I wouldn't be
here talking to you over my phone if that was true. So, we need to get to the place where we
finished, because those were the last words he spoke when he came up, when he got on the cross.
The last words out of his mouth was, it is finished. Oh, my gosh. Now, that's a wow
factor right there. Okay. So, what did we learn yesterday? Well,
we learned about the Father's heart towards you. Remember Ephesians chapter 1, where we read,
because of his great love, he ordained you so that you would be seen as holy in his eyes
with unstained innocence. Oh, my gosh. I love that. Imagine with standing before the creator
of the heavens and the earth, and he sees you as his child, and he says, I see you
and your unstained innocence. Oh, my heart just melts at that. Wow. Let me ask you a question.
Did you write your name in your Bible to show you that when you read that, that God is talking
about you? You are that woman, that woman of word. Wow. How many of you thought that
little orphan Annie was the original orphan? Duh. You know, when I first thought about that,
I thought of little orphan Annie, and I went, nope, because God showed me, and we talked about
that yesterday, that Satan is the orphan, the original orphan, the original double O. I'm sorry,
I happen to be a James Bond fan, but you know what? He's not the good guy. This guy is not the
good guy. We also saw that Adam, the fallen, became a double O by default. Wow. Can you think?
That just blew me away right there. Then we learned the father made a way, just like he did for Adam
and his wife. He also did the same thing for us. He covered them. He covered them so that they now
have access through the valley of the shadow of death. He did the same for you, and he did the
same for me. When Jesus hung on the cross, the blood of the lamb of that
lamb, cleansed us, covered us, so that we no longer have to walk in the shame. Oh my gosh,
I think that that's awesome. I think that's awesome. Hey, put it in the chat
when you get a chance, either if it is on now, because this or you can do it later on,
but put it in the chat. Let us know which one of those things really blessed you.
Okay, now without any further ado, I would like to turn it over to Yvonne Mutch,
so that she can bless you much and what she has to say.
Thank you, Walter. And first, I just want to say thank you for inviting me here. I'm excited for
what God has. And, you know, we only decided to do this about a week ago, I think it feels like
it was a week ago. And I'll tell you what, over here, life is happening at the speed of light.
I didn't have time to prepare. But that's okay. Because last night, last night, last night,
God gave me the download. I'll tell you what it was started with yesterday, finding this piece
of paper as a sermon I wrote more than a year ago for a group of women here down south of me.
And what do you think the title is? Let me take off my glasses. Woman of God,
you are highly valued, highly cherished, and your value is determined by God and God alone.
And Walter, I'm just going to go with the flow of the spirit if that's okay. And you're welcome
at any time or stop me if you have a question if I forget to pause and take a breath. But I feel
led by the Lord. Last night, I felt this so strongly. I felt I'm going to say it again,
woman of God, your value is determined by God and God alone. No one else gets to determine your
value. No one else. Not your parents. Not when you, not what they said, not what they did,
or maybe what they didn't say. That doesn't determine your value. Your teachers in school,
what they may have said over you, that doesn't determine your value. Your co-workers today,
they don't get to determine your value. And woman of God, that particular boyfriend,
he did not and does not determine your value. Or in some cases, maybe even your husband.
He does not get to determine your value. You are highly valued by God, cherished, adored,
treasured. I could go on and on. And I felt like I'm supposed to say this as well.
And I promise you this will tie in. I just heard this this week. I didn't read it in a book. I
heard it. And I just, I apologize. I can't remember who I heard it from, but somebody I know,
somebody I've been, somebody I know said that the average woman in church, now that it might be
different in the world, it might be the same statistic. It could be a little bit higher,
but in church, the average woman, and this is a mature audience, right? There's no children.
The average woman will be touched inappropriately by the age of 12. And for boys, it's almost as
high as that. And I say that, I say that, well, I'm one that fell into that statistic as many
other women. I happen to be age 11. And, you know, although it wasn't technically, officially,
you know, that I was molested by the technical definition, I was touched inappropriately,
as were so many other women. And we have no idea how that, you know, I could have no idea as an
11-year-old girl, how that would affect me, how that would influence my perception of myself,
my value of myself, and how I would allow men to treat me when I, you know, as a teenager,
started dating and, you know, having relationships with men. And the way I allowed men to treat me,
because I did not perceive, I did not see my own value. No one ever told me. No, I grew up,
and no one ever told me that I was, you know, okay, so I did not grow up in the church,
did not grow up in a Christian home. Maybe I should set that there, you know, as a little
bit of a background. So I grew up, no one ever told me that I, anything along those lines.
And so, you know, and then the things that happened to us.
And we just, so this is part of my story.
And Walter, I so appreciate your heart
for women and toward women.
And when I first saw you live,
I believe it was my spirit recognized your heart,
my heart recognized your heart.
Being a woman who came out of a background
of abusive and volatile relationships with men
before God gave me my sweet and precious husband
that I've been married to now for 35 years.
God gave me a gentle, sweet spirit,
man, a creative, an artist.
So here I am today, but even after,
and I am gonna talk about Rahab.
You talked about Rahab yesterday.
So I'll get to Rahab and I have to do this.
Oh, okay, oh, okay.
So, even I was 21 years old when I met the Lord
and I had a powerful encounter.
Oh my goodness, that's another story, another story.
And I think this is the moment where I'm gonna pause
if this is all right to say.
So, Walter is part of 100X.
Some of you listening might be part of 100X,
you know Walter through that.
So you would know that 100X has put out a book.
And so more of my story of what I'm just touching on today
is in the Broken Chapters book.
There you go.
I'm one of the 21 testimonies about how God restored,
redeemed, put back together the broken chapter of my life.
So that's the book.
I happen to be chapter 12 and I love it.
So back, so I met, even though I met the Lord when I was,
and I'm excited.
So I need to, I'm gonna lower my voice a bit.
I don't need to shout, but I get excited.
So even though I met the Lord,
I was a 21 year old single mom
already separated from the father of my child,
already had a string of unhealthy relationships
and met the Lord at age 21.
And you would think,
I heard the audible voice of the Lord.
That was part of the encounter.
He said, I'm cleansing you of your sins.
Now you would think
that you hear the audible voice of the Lord
and you're just straight away on your path to glory.
And you're just gonna, you know,
that's what I thought, you know,
cause I heard his voice again two days later.
And so I just assumed it was gonna be all a bed of roses,
but see, here's the thing.
I could not perceive my value.
I didn't understand that I had enough value,
even as a single mom to begin my walk with the Lord.
I thought, and it was a lie, I believed a lie,
that I needed a man to stand beside me to serve the Lord.
I just, I believed a lie or two or three.
And so that affected the decisions,
the choices because of my thinking.
And, you know, the major mistake I made
at my beginning of walking with the Lord
was surely God would want me to be married.
Surely he would want me, you know,
and of course that was God's heart for me,
but the thing was he didn't need my help.
And so that's another story, you know,
me trying to help the Lord seeking a husband
rather than seeking him first.
And when I finally got that in order,
and it did take a few years,
when I finally just gave it to the Lord,
just put it on the altar and I sought the Lord.
And then that's when, and I like to tell,
maybe this is a side note,
but I like to tell single women who are seeking,
you know, they want a husband.
And even I've told a few men this,
you just seek the Lord first, right?
So here you are and here's your future husband
and you wanna seek, you just wanna seek the Lord.
As you seek the Lord,
your future husband is seeking the Lord, seeking the Lord.
And there is that point in God's time
where your paths are gonna converge.
And I have a quote from a mentor of mine, I so love it.
This is for you single women, okay?
She says, I want to be so hidden in God
that my husband, my future husband
has to seek the Lord in order to find me.
Whoa.
So hidden in the Lord,
my future husband has to seek the Lord in order to find me.
So that's kind of like a grand scope, you know,
my journey and I, you know,
I give my testimony here and there,
but just coming into an awareness of who I am,
my value in God.
and you know me and I'm sure you've talked about the father heart of God so
I met the Lord December 19th 1983 rededicated my life back to God 1987 and
from that moment on yeah I got then I got married in 1988
so what I'm trying to say is this I my first revelation of God was Lord God
Almighty oh my goodness you know I was seeking truth and that got me into some
New Age stuff and studying the lives of other you know Buddha and all that kind
of stuff but the Lord intervened and the Lord showed me he Jesus revealed himself
as the light of the world but my revelation was just Lord God Almighty
omnipotent it took me until 2008 I mean I had a I had a long more than decades
before I had that first revelation of the father part of God and what a
difference and so I would have to say my journey of understanding the father of
heart of God didn't begin until 208 and so now fast forward to where we are you
know I'm in this school of ministry and I just became a certified minister but
yet it was only not many months ago when I heard what I needed to hear I got I
got called out in order to get called up and I'm so thankful that I that I was
able to hear what I needed to hear and what I needed to hear was I still had
not yet fully embraced I was not fully walking in my value in the Lord and so
these past few months I think that was spoken over me in February so I have
been leveling up since February in my value and I mean you know when I wrote
this sermon two years ago I didn't know what I was preaching to myself you know
they say preaching to the choir I was right there if I was the one front and
center in the choir that I was preaching to I was preaching what I needed to hear
what might you know and so this manifested in different ways and so I'm
just I'm just so excited because I know that I have something in me got
activated and I'm I'm on this journey and it just keeps getting better and
better and better you know it affected my confidence because I didn't you know
I would say things like well let me not take up too much of your time now why
would I always say that because I didn't think I was worth someone's time the
Lord just showed me this just a few just a few days ago or I would say or
and I talk I do talk fast when I get excited but there was something else
there was another layer to it you know this school of ministry I'm part of and
Walters part of it too we're just in different realms of it that they there's
different layers and I would go live you know to share homework and I would just
talk a mile a minute and the Lord showed me it was part of my lack of
value it was connected to that because I subconsciously I would think well if I
talk fast I'm only gonna take up seven minutes of your time instead of ten
minutes of your time I mean you know and you're on you know you don't know what
you don't know and so that was another thing that I didn't know and so I praise
God that I you know I was on the hot seat and I praise God for that that this
came to light so that I can level up and that I could fully that you know it's
like God Rick my value wasn't lost but I had to recover it I had to recover my
awareness of my value and and this is a side note I I had another good friend
she pushed me yesterday she gave me that needed push because that same
mentor can I say it I think it's all right to say his name is it okay to say
his name yeah why not so I go ahead my online mentor is Keith Ferrante he's the
founder of all things prophetic on Facebook you know when I fulfilled the
requirements for certification I had an interview with him 42 minutes
He did most of the talking, and I'm so glad he did because I ended up at the end he gave me a five minute consult.
How I could, how I could lead minister work with women, according to what he saw in me, and according to the journey, I've been walking. So I'm excited that friend pushed me, and as soon as Keith talked to me.
Within 24 hours I had this eight stake framework, eight different women in the Bible, and what, what we can glean from these eight different women.
And it all has to do most of it has to do with value, being empowered with our value through the truth.
The foundation is truth and coming stepping into that embracing our value because of what God says. Once again, woman of God your value is determined by God and God alone.
No one else gets to get to determine your value, not even your wonderful wonderful wonderful husband, what he does or say might enhance that, or it might portray that, but it's God who gets who determines your value.
So, amen. Yeah, yeah.
So one, one of those women.
I guess you asked me to share briefly on a one, one or two women, and the Lord had highlighted Abigail to me, but then you mentioned to me you talked to rehab.
So, um, let's see Lord where you want to start. Oh, I'll just I'll land on rehab I'll just do a quick little thing on Abigail and this is this is you know part of what I'm going to be.
I'm going to be leading women on an eight week journey, based on this eight week framework.
And, you know, I asked the Lord, why is it.
What do I call it. And he gave me the word journey.
So, um, kind of like your word quest.
Yeah, we all we all. Yeah.
Yeah.
So, just that just real quickly about Abigail the thing I love about Abigail, and, um, oh my goodness I love this about Abigail.
She knew who she was, she knew her worth.
Even though she was married to what the Bible says, he was a fool, his name was naval, and he was an outright fool. He's also called a scoundrel.
There's other words maybe rascal. But this guy.
She was a fool, and just even though Abigail was married to such a man. She did not allow that to diminish her worth. Right.
There's so many things about her one she took responsibility for it all. You know she, she took action she took responsibility, and because of knowing her value and her worth, she was able to go and stand before the man who would be king, and even
counseled him.
She changed the course of his action, and he heeded her word.
And now he also recognized her value but that's another, that's another story and her.
Here, let me go to my back screen here to just so you can jump if you got anybody wants to take a closer look where you can find this story in the Bible.
It is.
I apologize that I'm not, you know.
Okay, here we go. Here we go.
Okay, I'm on Deborah Esther, where are you rehab.
Okay, it's the next one.
So Abigail story is found in.
Here we go.
First Samuel 25, all that to say first Samuel 25. She just, you know, she goes before David and says, Oh, on me my lord let this iniquity be, please let your maid servant speak in your ears and hear the words of your maid servant.
And the amazing thing to me is David heeded her words he basically says so in so many words he said I have heated your voice. And now this is a paraphrase and I'll do what you say, you know, she stops David from taking revenge.
He's out to kill naval and all of neighbors household, but Abigail. She just has the presence of mind. She has the heart posture she has the humility, but but undergirding at all, she, she understands her value somewhere in there she's able to stand in the
And her value was such that she ends up, you know, being married to the king, you know it takes another wife.
So that's, that's Abigail, just in a, in a very small slice.
Any, any thoughts.
Walter, any comments on your part?
No, you're doing a great job because, yeah, I loved Abigail, too, that she ran out and
saw what was going on and to bring with her all the food that David had asked for.
That to me was looking ahead.
She didn't just run out there and say, oh, woe is me because he's dumb.
She came out with everything he needed, and I think that's also how I believe God worked
in her in such a way that was just awesome, and I just love that story.
I love that story.
Yeah.
She did the right thing.
She did what needed to be done.
Amen.
Yeah.
So thank you for throwing in a few more details in there.
It's always best when, you know, you listening to the sound of my voice that you go and search
it out.
So it's 1 Samuel 25.
You always will get so much more, as you might perceive.
I love the word.
I'm grounded in the word.
Amen.
So Rahab, oh my goodness, oh my goodness.
I see her as a woman of faith and a strategist.
I mean, it's her own words.
You know, we always refer to her as the harlot, but she was so much more than a harlot.
My goodness, she's one of my heroes.
She basically orchestrated her own deliverance and the deliverance of her entire family.
She orchestrated it, and she was bold enough to ask for it, and I believe she was bold
enough to ask for it.
I believe it has to do with her faith.
Let me go to my screen again.
I want to quote her exact words because they are powerful.
Okay, she's the preceding page.
Here it is.
Okay, her story is found in Joshua 2, and I'll tell you what, I love the Old Testament.
I know some people don't read the Old Testament so much, and it is what it is.
I love the book, you know, Joshua, Judges, Kings, Chronicles, all these, I call it battle
strategies, battle strategies for victorious Christian living.
There's so much to believe in these stories and these men and these women of faith.
So Rahab, I couldn't choose which one.
So here's her words, Joshua 2, 11, for the Lord, he is God.
She's not even an Israelite, and yet she's the one saying, for the Lord, he is God.
You know, and if you know the story, she says something like, you know, for our hearts melted
when we heard what the Lord your God did for you, and she declares, for the Lord, he is
God.
Somehow or another, she responded, or she moved and acted in faith, and then the strategist.
So the very next verse, after for the Lord, he is God, show me kindness.
See, she astutely perceives an opportunity, and you know, show me kindness.
Let me get back to my screen.
Since I have showed you kindness, show me kindness.
And it's just, it is just one of those amazing, amazing stories.
But you know what?
There's one more thing.
And this is fresh matter for me.
This only came to me just since you and I talked, Walter, like a week or less.
Rahab has three mentions in the Bible.
As well as I know the Bible, that was not in the forefront of my mind, but I was going
through my devotions the other day, Smith Wigglesworth devotions, and I was reading
in, I was either reading in Hebrews or James.
Okay, so I knew she's mentioned in the Hebrews Hall of Faith chapter, right?
So she gets a mention in Hebrews 1131, but here I'm reading the book of James.
And I guess it's been a number of months since I've read the book of James.
Chapter two, verse 25, she's once again commended for her faith.
But, you know, this might not directly attach to value, but, you know, she's adopted into
the lineage of Christ and, you know, that connects to what you were talking about.
She's one of those three women mentioned.
But here's the cool thing.
So she's adopted in, and I believe she becomes the mother of Boaz, okay, thank you for confirming
that.
Yes.
But here's the thing though, Boaz repeats the same.
So it's like a two.
Two generational, it happens two generations in a row.
Because who does Boaz end up marrying?
Ruth.
Yes.
Another woman grafted in to the,
see, so God's value of them,
that, you know, what family they were born to,
it didn't determine their worth.
You know, when they were grafted in, they were grafted in.
And you know, in the case of Rahab, her past,
whatever it was, it didn't,
she got a fresh clean slate.
And it didn't diminish her value.
These are just, you know, our woman of God,
I have to say it again, woman of God,
your value is determined by God
and you are highly valued and highly cherished.
I just felt compelled last night
that I was just to repeat that
and say that over and over
because I know that God's called me to be a mouthpiece.
And I know that there's power in our words
and there's power in my words
and there's power in God's word in our mouth.
And so I'm just led to declare that,
woman of God, your value is determined by God.
Don't let anyone tell you anything otherwise.
And the word, one of the words the Lord gave me
just these past couple of weeks
in preparing for this eight week journey
was inestimable value.
And you know, I knew what it meant,
but I had to look it up, right?
I mean, it's not a word I use every day.
I looked it up.
Inestimable means your value is too great to calculate.
Don't you just, don't you just love that?
That's what God said.
That's what God said when he was giving me
my mission statement for why I'm doing what I'm doing.
We, our value, you know,
my word would have been immeasurable
or God-given, our God-given worth.
But the Lord, the Lord himself, he said inestimable
because he's a master wordsmith.
He's a master communicator.
So what do you think, Walter?
Well, I take another sip of coffee.
Inestimable, I can't even say it, inestimable.
Yeah, what you said, it just blows me away
that the way God uses words.
He is the one that says that your worth is so great
you can't estimate.
To me, that just blows me away.
Too great to estimate.
Yeah, it could come up with something like that.
I had a friend point out, it rhymes.
Ha ha ha, too great to estimate.
And that's, that's just awesome
because that shows again the heart of a loving father
that he could take someone and not only make sure
that they get a whiff, if you will,
of that unstained innocence that causes them
to just grow into that too great to estimate value
of worth, of who God has called them into.
That just blows me away, just blows me away.
And throughout the Bible, you see the value
that Jesus placed on women.
You know, he always was breaking ground
and, you know, he liberated women.
You know, he talked to the woman at the well
when they didn't even talk to Sumerians, let alone women.
Here's a quick little tidbit.
If those of you who, you know, understand numbers
and the significant, you know,
how seven is the number of completion,
it wasn't until the woman at the well
met the seventh man in her life
that her life was transformed.
You know, he said, you've had five husbands
and the man you're with now.
So Jesus was that seventh man
that brought her into that, you know, that breakthrough.
She became an evangelist, but he was, you know,
just, he was always dignifying women.
You know, the woman caught in adultery.
You know, he covered her with, you know,
they brought her, you know, they wanted to expose,
they did it, you know, they were trying to expose her
and uncover her, her shame and all this.
And Jesus had a better story.
But it has just, you know, I didn't touch on this earlier
when I was saying that, you know,
this, that, and the other does not determine your value.
I'll even, I forgot to add this to the list.
The church, even the church does not get to determine
the value of the woman, of women.
Because, you know, I think we're all aware
of different streams of the church,
what they say about women, the parameters they place,
the boundaries they place, what a woman can or can't do
or should or shouldn't do.
And I don't know if that was just more significant
in my era in the church.
I think it has improved.
I think there's a greater awareness.
And I admit, I get a little bit perturbed.
I mean, let men be men and let women be women, OK?
Amen to God's design.
I am all for God's design.
And his design will not be mocked, by the way.
But that's another, that's a rabbit trail, maybe.
Amen.
You know, sometimes we say, well, men and women
are not equal.
I would like them to complete the sentence
and be a little more clear.
Because the truth is, we are equal in value
in the eyes of God.
And I think some people, they leave the door a little too far
open.
We need to be clear with our words.
Of course, God knows our heart.
But other men and women might not.
So we need to be clear with our words.
So of course, we're not the same physically.
And we're not equal physically.
But we are equal in worth.
And so, yeah, that's a whole other arena.
Maybe that's not the time.
We don't need to go there.
But I know that there are many women,
because I was one of them.
And I am not a victim.
I am an overcomer.
Because I know who I am.
I know who Christ is in me.
I know who I am in Christ.
But I had certain things, which is
why I've been on this journey so long,
because I had these things put on me.
And it wasn't who I was.
I was called to work with children.
And I did work with children for 25 years.
And I praise God for that.
That was my training ground.
That was my equipping.
I worked with children in the church, outside of church,
public, private, alternative education, tutoring,
you name it.
I very likely, and I loved it.
But yet, kind of man had me stereotyped at some point.
The Lord wanted to open other doors.
But I was just like, I was so gifted in that area
that that was one threat of it.
That there was not, they just wanted me to stay there.
Because I was so good at it.
But there was a season.
It was time to do a new thing.
So I got a little off topic.
What I was trying to say was, so often in the church,
women are, well, for lack of a better word,
I'm going to say relegated to, OK,
you're going to do the nursery work,
or you're going to clean the bathrooms.
I mean, I think back to the church, a particular church.
And there was a very strong flavor of that.
But God is good.
Yeah, amen, amen, amen.
God is good.
But some of us women, though, see,
our spirits have no gender, right?
Our spirit has no gender, no color, no ethnicity.
Our spirits are our spirits.
This is just our Earth suit.
Oh, by the way, one more thing.
Our outward appearance doesn't define our value either.
Amen.
But back to our spirits, no gender, no color.
And so there's things that God gifts us each differently
and uniquely for what he's called us to do.
And it took me a long time to discover
that what he called me to do was not so much what we would call
traditional for the women.
It took me, I had the slow cooker calling.
I did not have a calling until I was 49 years old
that I had felt a call from the Lord.
First, it was private.
And the next year, it became public three different times,
publicly spoken, age 49.
But we just all have our own unique journey.
But it explains to me now, I can look back
and see so clearly now, why it didn't thrill my heart
to be asked to work at a, prepare for a women's banquet
and make beautiful tables.
Now, praise God that there are women who enjoy doing that.
And that's their gift to make things beautiful, right?
And I did have a season of hospitality in my own home.
But it's just not all women have the gift or the desire
or the thrill of heart to set a beautiful table
or do some of these things.
And I just praise God for the awakening.
I do believe the church's awakening.
to the value of women.
Oh, can I mention one more woman?
Sure.
I'm just flowing.
This one excites me.
I have always been intrigued with Deborah and Barack.
And Barack.
In my day, Barack got a bad rap.
Oh, because he said,
if you don't go to battle, I won't go.
I think that is my personal opinion
that's been misinterpreted.
I believe he saw the call of God on Deborah's life.
He recognized who she was.
He knew the anointing was on her life
and he was a wise man to say,
and wasn't intimidated.
It takes a strong man not to be intimidated
by a strong woman.
I praise God for the strong men.
Oh, I praise God for the strong men.
Amen, amen.
You're absolutely right.
Cause I felt the same way when I read that years
and years ago for the first time.
And I was literally taught that he was not a man.
He was afraid, all of these things.
But just the opposite is what I saw was,
wow, he must've saw something.
Why would God say she's a prophet?
And he must've knew that she was a prophet
and then is going to act as though she's not?
That does not compute.
Because, hey, in those days,
that was one of the things that stopped me for many years
because I often thought when a prophet shows up,
he sees every dirty thing you ever did.
So how are you gonna do anything after that?
You can't because of how you were taught.
But when you see that, hey,
the heart of the father is too big
for these little penny ante games
that we as people play amongst one another
to up and other people,
to put them down, to make them less, you know?
And I, you know, hey, at some point,
we have to get honest with where we are
and just trust that God is gonna be God.
He's the one that said, I think it's in Psalm 115.
Hey, I am the Lord.
I do what I dadgum please.
Yes, he sits in the heavens.
He does what he pleases.
There you go.
So you know what?
Who am I?
I just say, I don't understand.
You know what you're doing.
I'll just hold on to your hand.
Let's go.
That's all I wanna do.
So yeah, I mean, this has been awesome, awesome, awesome.
I hope that when we do get around
to posting this on Facebook,
you know, I just realized I tried to make you a co-host
and you probably could have went up
and put this on Facebook,
but I went, ah, I'll do it later.
Oh, now that I have a pro account,
I have a pro account that might've been possible.
I've never done it before,
but we might've been able to figure that out.
But you know what?
We're just gonna trust God.
We're just gonna trust God is what it is.
Can I add a quick PS about Deborah and Barack?
Sure you can.
The first words out of his mouth
when she told him the word of the Lord
and see, he recognized it was the word of the Lord.
The first words out of his mouth were not,
I will not go unless you go.
The first words were, I will go.
And you know, just the little tiny,
you know, you gotta pay attention to the details.
His first words were, I will go.
And then of course, and then Deborah responded
without missing a beat, I will go.
You know, it was a God ordained thing.
And you know, I'm just excited when men and women
work together as unto the Lord.
And when we just celebrate one another,
I celebrate all my brothers and I celebrate all my sisters.
But yeah, I'll stop talking.
I just wanna say thank you again.
Thank you again, Walter, for this opportunity.
I love sharing.
Oh, wow.
You are so welcome.
I was so blessed with what you shared
because I only touched yesterday
on just naming Sarah and Rahab and Mary, just the three.
And I even talked generally about other women
that paved the way so that the Messiah would show up
so that we could see God working.
I mean, my gosh, Esther, for example,
how she, you know, for such a time as this,
you know, she probably thought,
oh, I just get married and there you go.
So, oh my gosh, there's just so many women
that paid, that laid down their lives in service
so that God could move his agenda, his history forward,
his story forward.
And it just blows me away.
Elizabeth.
gave birth to John the Baptist.
I mean, oh my gosh, so many things.
And I'm pretty sure that they are women
that we have never heard of
that have done things that,
hey, there just wasn't enough ink.
But maybe one day we get to meet one of those unsung heroes
that played in the background to open up doors
that we've never even heard of before.
Oh my gosh.
This is awesome.
Sometimes we don't even know their name.
Some of these women, we're not even given their name.
Yeah, yeah.
So one of them, yeah, I better just.
Well, we have about, usually this is about the time.
I usually don't go over 45 minutes to do this.
So we've gone a little above that, but that's okay.
So, hey, you guys out there and on Facebook land,
this is the time that you take something,
go live in the Facebook page
and let us know what blessed you.
One takeaway, at least one takeaway.
And I think that, hey, I got blessed.
And you know what?
I'm gonna go through this one more time, one more again.
I have to go through this one more time
and take some notes because I'm gonna come back tomorrow
and I'm gonna say, hey, did you catch this?
Did you catch that?
Did you get this?
Oh man.
So, hey, I wanna thank you
for taking time out of your morning to be with us.
And you know what?
My electricity went down at 4.30 in the afternoon.
It is now almost five o'clock and it hasn't come back yet.
Well, at least it's daytime.
So, what do you say?
Oh my God.
Yes, if it was night and I'm sitting outside here,
I doubt if you see anything but my teeth.
And you got a beautiful background there.
Thank you.
Well, it's pretty nice here in Sweden.
This time of year is pretty nice, pretty nice.
Okay, well, I wanna thank you again.
Thank you again.
God bless you.
And thank you for how you've blessed my heart today
with what you shared and just taking time out of your day.
So, to everyone else who's gonna see this,
God bless you and you have a great, great day.
God bless you.
Amen.
All right.
